Double Chocolate Fudge Coca-Cola Cake Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, Coca-Cola, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cakes

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare Fudge Icing

In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup of milk. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth.

Frost the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of fudge icing, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides.

Serve

Slice the cake and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
